Proprioception – ortho and neuro

Proprioception is a combination of balance, joint position sense, and body awareness. Part of this is derived from sensory apparatus within the muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. When any of these areas are damaged, in pain or recovering from injury/surgery, the sensory apparatus are damaged and need proprioceptive stimulation to recover and do their job again. Any neurological damage to spine, nerves or brain lead to issues with proprioception too. Physiotherapy treatment works to gain proprioception. Good proprioception leads to correct use of limb and body. Athletes also benefit from fine tuning proprioception to help reduce risk of injury.
